Chapter 68 Section IX

Just when I was immersed in pain and couldn't extricate myself, my father called and asked about my return date.Dad's urging, like an invisible hand, pulled me out of the emotional quagmire.I spent a day and a half on the road when I came here, and it will take the same amount of time to go back. I have already spent two days in this city, which means that there are only two days left to complete my revenge plan. Time is running out, and time is running out. Since love is irretrievable, hatred must be avenged.So I cheered up and prepared for the Christmas Eve dance at night. In the morning, I ran between major shopping malls to choose clothes for evening wear, and then spent the afternoon doing my hair in the hair salon.Back at the hotel, I finished my makeup, changed my clothes, and looked at myself in the mirror who was slim and graceful like a lotus emerging from water, and my eyes brightened.

I put on a down jacket, arrived at the entrance of the small auditorium on time, met Kong Xiangyu who was waiting there, and walked into the auditorium holding his arm.The auditorium was crowded and bustling, and most people had already put on various masks.I took out the skull mask and put it on my face.This mask is of course not the one Li Yi gave me, but a new one I bought.I looked left and right, looking for Chen Peng's figure, but there were too many people in the auditorium, which made me dazzled, and I didn't see Chen Peng appearing.I murmured in my heart, what would I do if Chen Peng didn't come?Wouldn't that be a waste of my hard work.

The lights in the auditorium suddenly dimmed, and the rostrum lit up.A host in a black tuxedo stepped out.He said: "Welcome to the Christmas Eve masquerade... At the end of the party, one Christmas Eve princess and one prince will be selected. The selection rules are as follows. Those who are interested in participating in the selection of Christmas Eve princesses, please go to the rostrum to get a number plate, and Wear it on your chest. At that time, twelve judges will vote to decide who is the princess tonight. Gentlemen, don’t worry, the selection of the Christmas Eve prince will be conducted in another mysterious way. Okay, now, princesses, please come to the stage to get your number Card."

There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and after a moment of hesitation, people came to the stage to receive their number plates.Every time a number plate was taken away, the host announced the number once. After he announced the number to be more than 20, I walked up to the stage, got the number 25, and wore it on my chest.In the end, no one came forward to claim it, and the host announced that a total of 32 number plates had been issued. The dance officially started, Kong Xiangyu and I danced a few songs, told him that I was a little tired, and then retreated to the rest area to rest.While chatting with Kong Xiangyu restlessly, I was looking for Chen Peng in the crowd, but I had to give up later, because everyone was wearing masks, many people looked like him in body shape, but when you looked closely, it was difficult to find Chen Peng. not like.One after another, people came to ask me to dance, but I refused.Later, Kong Xiangyu couldn't get bored and went to find another dance partner.

Several times I had the idea of ​​leaving, but when I thought about the words of coming, I will be safe, so I waited patiently.Seeing all kinds of people dancing, I think the founder of the masquerade party is really a genius. Through the mask, no one can figure out who is dancing with. Maybe the person in his arms is a good friend in life, maybe it is The person I hate the most, even an enemy.Life is also a large-scale masquerade. Although the masks are invisible and colorless, they are carefully worn by people. Perhaps only children keep their clean faces. Finally at the end, the lights on the rostrum came on again, and the host walked to the center of the stage briskly, and said, "Now, all contestants are invited to come to the front, step on the stage in order of numbers, and then uncover the mysterious masks for everyone to see." See who you are."

We walked to the side of the rostrum amid the cheers and lined up one by one.The moment each contestant walked to the center of the stage and took off his mask, he won cheers and applause.I stood in the team eager to try, thinking that I must win the first prize.When it was my turn, I waved my hand to greet the crowd as I walked. When I got to the middle of the stage, I gracefully turned a 270-degree circle. When my back was facing the crowd, I took off my mask, stood sideways, and shook my flowing long hair , turned his face to the crowd, and smiled brightly.The cheers and applause were deafening, and someone even shouted my number, "Number 25, No. 25..." After a series of actions, I floated down.

After the contestants made their appearances, about five or six minutes later, the host came to the stage, and he announced loudly in an excited voice: "Now I announce that on the 25th, with an absolute advantage of 7 votes, I won the title of Christmas Eve Princess. Our princess is on stage." I walked to the stage with light steps and bowed gracefully to the crowd.Applause and cheers rang out again. The host waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said loudly: "Tonight is Christmas Eve. Who should we thank for our safety? Friends will definitely say that we should thank the soldiers who protect our homes and the country and the police who maintain social order. Yes, we should thank These are the loveliest people. There are also some people who need our thanks. Although their occupations are not soldiers or policemen, they stand up when criminals commit crimes with their fearless courage. Our college also has such a hero, he is Mr. Chen Peng. Now let us give warm applause to welcome Mr. Chen to crown our princess."

The development of the matter completely exceeded my expectations. When I was comforting myself to get the title of princess as compensation for the failure of my painstaking plan, Chen Peng walked onto the stage with a big smile along with the applause.He put a crown made of glittery paper on my head, shook my hand, and said in a soft voice, "Congratulations!" I sneered in my heart, look good, your current good looks can only make you more ugly and embarrassing after the skin is peeled off. The host added: "Now, it's time to select the prince of Christmas Eve. Our rule is to hand over this power to the princess tonight. Gentlemen, show your brightest smiles and welcome the judgment of our honorable princess." .”

I don't believe in gods and Buddhas, in front of such good luck, I can't help but thank them for being too generous to me and giving me such a good opportunity.Needless to say, I was able to justifiably get close to Chen Peng tonight, and my plan took the first step smoothly.I pretended to look around the crowd, and I saw countless pairs of eyes full of expectation.I saw Wang Jun, and when our eyes met, he lowered his head, and Li Xueying stood beside him, depressed.I also saw Kong Xiangyu, he waved at me vigorously and told me to choose him with his mouth. The host walked up to me, handed a paper crown into my hand, and said to me: "Facing so many outstanding gentlemen, it is difficult to make a choice, isn't it? Take your time, and you will give the choice to whoever you choose." Who wears the crown."

I directed everyone's gaze, walked around the field, and finally returned to the rostrum, stood in front of Chen Peng with a smile, raised the crown high, and put it on his head.The host applauded first. Chen Peng whispered in my ear, "Thank you!" The host announced again: "Now, let's invite our princess Ping An and the prince to dance together. Music!" The music sounded, it was the melody of Tong Ange's song "Actually You Don't Understand My Heart", a slow three dance music.Along with the music, Chen Peng and I danced lightly. I thought to myself that this dance music is very suitable for me and Chen Peng, how can he understand my heart.A bold plan is brewing in my heart, and I want to take advantage of this golden opportunity to make Chen Peng a mess tonight.

As the dance music came to an end, I suddenly put my arms around Chen Peng's neck, suppressed my nausea, and kissed him hard, leaving a scarlet lip mark on his cheek.There was a moment of silence in the auditorium, followed by whistles and cheers.Chen Peng was stunned, and the host stood up to smooth things over and said: "Our princess is too involved, and the fake show is really done. Well, the dance is over here, and I wish everyone safe and happy forever!" I said loudly: "Who said it was a fake show? It was he who promised me with his own mouth. Now, please bear witness for me. I want him to fulfill his oath. In this life, he will never be separated from me." Chen Peng's face was pale, and he explained incoherently: "She is talking nonsense, I don't know her at all." I sneered and said, "Why, you turned your face and denied you so soon. Well, I won't argue with you for now. Sooner or later, you will kneel on the ground and beg me." After I finished speaking, I stomped my feet, pretended to be angry, and rushed out hall.My heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge, as if I saw Chen Peng standing in the auditorium pale and bewildered, accepting the judgment from people's eyes.I think tomorrow, the scandal about Chen Peng will spread to every corner of the academy, and people's spittle will drown him.If I add another fire tomorrow, it will kill him completely, and the colored hats playing with emotions will replace the halo of heroes on his head, and he will be a mouse crossing the street.
